haye jhilmil jhilmil ye sham ke saye
dur koyi jaise shahnai bajaye
pyar ke sathi, mere pyar ke sathi
koyi jatan kar, ab ye sham na jaye
jhilmil haye jhilmil
jhilmil haye jhilmil
jhilmil haye jhilmil
haye jhilmil jhilmil ye sham ke saye
dur koyi jaise shahnai bajaye
pyar ke sathi, mere pyar ke sathi
koyi jatan kar, ab ye sham na jaye
jhilmil haye jhilmil
jhilmil haye jhilmil
jhilmil haye jhilmil

o o o machi sansani, o o o chhidi raagni
o o o machi sansani
mere chhote se mann me, koyi jadu sa jagaye
haye jhilmil jhilmil ye sham ke saye
dur koyi jaise shahnai bajaye
pyar ke sathi, mere pyar ke sathi
koyi jatan kar, ab ye sham na jaye
jhilmil haye jhilmil
jhilmil haye jhilmil
jhilmil haye jhilmil

aa aa aa kali dil ki chun, o o o piya pyare sun
aa aa aa kali dil ki chun
ye tanhai ka mausam, kabhi aaye ke naa aaye
haye jhilmil jhilmil ye sham ke saye
dur koyi jaise shahnai bajaye
pyar ke sathi, mere pyar ke sathi
koyi jatan kar, ab ye sham na jaye
jhilmil haye jhilmil
jhilmil haye jhilmil
jhilmil haye jhilmil

o o o jo hum chal pade, ho o o deeye jal pade
o o o jo hum chal pade
dekho dubta suraj, hai khada deep jalaye
haye jhilmil jhilmil ye sham ke saye
dur koyi jaise shahnai bajaye
pyar ke sathi, mere pyar ke sathi
koyi jatan kar, ab ye sham na jaye
jhilmil haye jhilmil
jhilmil haye jhilmil
jhilmil haye jhilmil

Flickering, the shadows of evening descend,
A distant shehnai, its sweet notes extend.
Companions of love, my beloved, my own,
Strive, that this twilight might never be flown.
Flickering, oh flickering,
Flickering, oh flickering,
Flickering, oh flickering.
Flickering, the shadows of evening descend,
A distant shehnai, its sweet notes extend.
Companions of love, my beloved, my own,
Strive, that this twilight might never be flown.
Flickering, oh flickering,
Flickering, oh flickering,
Flickering, oh flickering.

Oh, a thrill takes hold, oh, a melody starts,
Oh, a thrill takes hold.
In my small heart, a magic now imparts.
Flickering, the shadows of evening descend,
A distant shehnai, its sweet notes extend.
Companions of love, my beloved, my own,
Strive, that this twilight might never be flown.
Flickering, oh flickering,
Flickering, oh flickering,
Flickering, oh flickering.

Ah, pluck the heart's bud, oh, listen, love, hear,
Ah, pluck the heart's bud.
This season of longing, will it ever be near?
Flickering, the shadows of evening descend,
A distant shehnai, its sweet notes extend.
Companions of love, my beloved, my own,
Strive, that this twilight might never be flown.
Flickering, oh flickering,
Flickering, oh flickering,
Flickering, oh flickering.

Oh, if we but walk on, oh, the lamps will ignite,
Oh, if we but walk on.
See, the sinking sun, a lamp in the night.
Flickering, the shadows of evening descend,
A distant shehnai, its sweet notes extend.
Companions of love, my beloved, my own,
Strive, that this twilight might never be flown.
Flickering, oh flickering,
Flickering, oh flickering,
Flickering, oh flickering.
